Bran as Manure.

Chemical analysis shows that
wheat bran has a manurial value
of S14.59 per ton at the same rate
for phosphate of lime, nitrogen and
other fertilizers as IS paid for COM
mercial manures. IL is especially
rich in phosphates, aud these in
feeding to stock 90 into manure,
except with rapidly growing ami
mails, when they are worth still
more to 60 into bone and growth.
1t is not, therefore, good policy to
use bran directly as manure. Feed
it and what of manurial value 1t
has will be mostly returned to the
soil and in more available form for
use by plants. There is scarcely
any part of the country where farm.
ers cannot afford to buy bran for
feeding mich cows, working horses,
or young stock of any kind. 1t is
excellent for all these, and the ma.
nure made by feeding it will repay
most of the first cost.

MONEY IN BREEDING GOOD HORSES.

The best horses in the world for
light service are bred in the United
States indeed, it may be said that
this country yields 4 better class
of horses for all work than does
any other on the globe but beyond
all question, our road horses are
signally superior to those of any
other land.
There is money, good, substan-
tial money, nor that in small quan.
tity, in breeding horses well, with
fixed end in view. Every farmer
has, or may have a good mare it
may be not one of great intrinsic
value, but a mare of good points,
well.modeled as a dam, with room
to carry and ability to nourish her
foal. This mare is capable Of do.
ing service in breeding, equally
with that she renders in other
labors for her owner.
The farmers aim should be the
production of the best fOal possible,
because 1t costs no more to raise a
good than a poor colt, and there is
no economy in using a cheap or
convenient stallion, when a first
class one, of ft blood-lines and
high quality, can be had for little
extra trouble and a little more
money. Let our readers estimate
the value OF care in breeding by
considering the prices which good
stock brings, even when young,and
the condition of the markets in
cities and large towns, where good,
well.looking, horses, having good
action, style, and substance al
ways are in demand, and they will
conclude that it pays to breed well.
There is no use in trying to breed
valuable stock, if the sire is select
ed at hap.hazard; breeding is a
science, and there can be no sure
outcome from either its study or
application, unless the progenitor
of the stock shall have been
thoroughly bred. 1t is we'll to use
a we'll bred mare, whenever this is
possible; but a strongly bred sire
will unfailingly improve upon the
most ordinarily bred dam, will
more than make good her defcien-
cies, and compensate for the in
vestment.-American AgricuItm'ist.
